Home: OurApproach

Steam power has been the driving force behind some of the world's greatest innovations. Our firm carries this spirit as we embark on a process with our partners to think fresh, be bold and deliver innovation despite obstacles. 

 

Fueled by our experience with multiple project types, we lead guided conversations that drive our

Client's business goals.

OUR WORK

Our work and project experiences are extremely varied. Throughout our growth, we have consulted on the design and planning for the development of Sports and Entertainment projects, Progressive Learning Environments, Commercial Interiors, Retail, Residential Design and leading Health Care providers.

 

Our approach to design sits squarely at the intersection of purpose, story, and economics with a process

that is deeply systemic and engaging.

BLU WATER CAR WASH

Our Client challenged us to provide a light-filled, airy carwash tunnel that would hold up to the tough environmental conditions.  He wanted his customers to have a unique and memorable experience.  We incorporated high-end finishes, lighting, and materials to create a car wash like no other. The owner did not want to fight rust which had been a constant problem at his previous wash.  We opted for Kalwal panels within an aluminum tube frame provided by Structures Unlimited, Kalwal's sister company.  The site was very tight, thought to be too narrow by other developers.  We created a mechanical mezzanine to save space and keep control systems and equipment in a smaller area.

Working closely with the Leadership of Children's National, our team developed a design concept centered around the patient and family experience. Critical design and planning moves include reducing the size of the central waiting area and providing overflow waiting along exterior windows, locating all exam rooms on the interior of the plan to provide a more controlled light level and to have exterior cisculation dedicated to patient travel, with exterior views.
